Matthew 13:57: Let the world my Lord despise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Let the world my Lord despise,
Let the world offended be,
Jesus, I Thy meanness prize.
Honour Thy humility;
Thee, a Man of low estate
Sole eternal God I own,
For Thy glorious kingdom wait,
Wait to share Thy heavenly throne.
